Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Ideal diodes and ORing controllers offer space-saving, scalable solutions to protect a system against reverse voltage or reverse current. They reduce the energy lost ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...
